That is an option, and one I mentioned in my post. The difference is that it doesn't benefit you directly, just indirectly. It's not a bad idea overall though and still better than not doing it altogether, which is what I mentioned in the post.

This comment leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but I see where you are coming from.

If my BAT wallet starts to swell and a lot of the sites that I use regularly don't sign up as publishers for brave rewards, I may actually do the switch you are talking about here. Get more steem power and get some great posts the notice they deserve ;)
